There’s plenty to do right here in the Hudson Valley. Check out some of our suggestions below. Bicycle Sunday, the Bronx River Parkway Since 1974, Westchester residents have taken to the Bronx River Parkway to mark the beginning of Bicycle Sunday. Over 60,000 people bike, walk or jog on a 13.1-mile stretch of the traffic-free parkway, beginning in Yonkers and ending in White Plains. This year, Bicycle Sunday launches on May 7. The parkway is shut down from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There are many points of entry and exit along the route. For more information, go to http://www. thewpf.org/event/bicycle-sunday/2017-05-07/. Residents can take advantage of the traffic-free environment on May 14 and 21, June 4, 11, 18 and 25 and Sept. 10, 17 and 24. Hudson River Museum, Yonkers No need to head to New York City to get your cul- tural fix. The Hudson River Museum in Yonkers has a variety of programs and exhibitions to suit everyone. On Feb. 25, the museum launched its “Wyeth Wonderland: Joséphine Douet Envisions Andrew Wyeth’s World” exhibition, a combina- tion of photographs from French photographer Josephine Douet and American painter Andrew Wyeth. The exhibition will remain at the museum until May 14. There’s a distinct Civil War theme in other exhibitions at the museum. They include “Red Grooms: The Blue and the Gray,” which is on display through May 7. Portraits of President Abraham Lincoln and his son, battle scenes from the war, along with portraits of soldiers, abolition- ists, generals, spies and detectives from the time period, and a large drawing of the Black activist Sojourner Truth are all part of this exhibit. The museum is suitable for all ages, and includes a planetarium. It is located at 511 Warburton Avenue in Yonkers.
